“…Specific conditions associated with pancreatitis in dogs and man include: pancreatic duct obstruction, pancreatic ischaemia, abdominal trauma, reflux of duodenal secretions into pancreatic duct, some viral, bacterial, parasitic and protozoal infections (Williams and Steiner 2005), high fat diets (Baker 1978), obesity and hyperlipidaemia (Goodhead 1971). Zinc, calcium (Williams and Steiner 2005) and a variety of drugs have also been associated with acute pancreatitis.…”

SummarySevere acute pancreatitis (SAP) in foals is rare and treatment has not been documented. This paper describes the clinical, haematological and ultrasonographic findings as well as attempted treatment of SAP in two 5-day-old Appaloosa fillies. Clinical signs, including colic, diarrhoea and coma, may be mistaken for sepsis or neonatal encephalopathy. Hyperlipaemic serum and peritoneal fluid, and elevated serum and peritoneal fluid amylase and lipase activities aided the diagnosis. Severe acute pancreatitis should be included as a differential in an acutely ill foal with diarrhoea, colic, cerebral cortical dysfunction and hyperlipaemia.

“…In dogs, hereditary, nutritional and metabolic triggers (e.g., hyperlipidaemia, obesity, high fat foods, etc.) are recognised, 3,7,[11][12][13][14][15] whereas in cats this is far less obvious. 4,9,16 As an inciting cause is rarely determined, treatment and subsequent management often remain nonspecific, 6,7,17 with nutritional support playing a key role in the successful approach.…”

A spayed Boston terrier was referred for nutritional advice after failing to respond to long‐term medical and dietary treatment for chronic pancreatitis. Based on clinical appearance, consecutive bloodwork and ultrasound examination, the concomitant occurrence of inflammatory bowel disease was likely. An exclusion diet (novel protein approach) and a stepwise balancing schedule were formulated to address combined nutritional recommendations, as well as the possibility for hypersensitivity to play a role. After initiation of the exclusion diet, the patient relapsed twice. Once due to non‐compliance of the owner, once due to reaction to an added supplement. After correction, no major relapses were noted for at least 1 year. To the authors’ knowledge, this report is the first to describe the successful supportive care of chronic pancreatitis and concurrent inflammatory bowel disease by prescribing a homemade diet.

“…There is some evidence that hypertriglyceridemia might contribute to the pathogenesis of pancreatitis in dogs and low‐fat diets are recommended in many veterinary textbooks to prevent recurrence of pancreatitis although there are no prospective studies to support this recommendation and hypertriglyceridemia might not be a contributing factor in all dogs with pancreatitis. Overweight and obese dogs are thought to be at increased risk of hypertriglyceridemia and pancreatitis, but a definitive association between hypertriglyceridemia and pancreatitis in dogs has not been established, and the relative contributions of fasting and postprandial triglyceride concentrations to pancreatitis risk have not been distinguished in existing studies.…”
